I'd like to see more crossover between white and black music. That's something I've been advocating for years.

What I do isn't black music; it's just my music.

A lot of my success comes from black music. It's something I'm very proud of.

I prefer black music in general.

In music, the Specials brought a city, Coventry, bombed out for a second time and riven with racism, to a celebration between black and white musicians and their music.

I don't see the world completely in black and white. Sometimes I do.
